STAMP MOUNTING AND LABEL.

Application filed June 7,

This invention relates to a means for labeling mounts for rubber stampsand l ke articles. It is a primary object of this invention to provide acombinationof a mount and an insertable label. It is desirable to havemounts so arranged that selected labels of standard dimensions andstructure may be inserted and attached. Another object of this inventionis to provide a mount of the character described which does not requiremutilation of the mount, does not detract from its appearance orinterfere with its durability or convenience of manipulation. A furtherobject of this invention is to provide a transparent envelope or holderof durable material for containing interchangeable labels, whereby toprotect the label against being marred and to increase the eflicientlife thereof. A still further object of this invention is to provide amount and label which is economical to manufacture and easy to assemble.

These objects together with other objects and correspondingaccomplishments are obtained by means of the embodiment of my inventionillustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Fig. 1 is an elevation of a common type of handle mount; Fig. 2 is asection partly in elevation as seen upon the line 2-2 of Fig. 1; Fig. 3is an elevation of another type of mount; and Fig. 4 is a section asseen upon the line 44 of Fig. 3.

Referring more particularly to Figs. 1 and 2, a type of mount, incurrent use is disclosed. Such mounts are commonly made of wood andcomprise a body or mount strip 5 to the lower face of which the rubbertype 6 is cemented. A bore is provided in the upper portion to receivethe shank 7 formed upon a handle 8. As before stated this type of mountis well known.

Itis the common practice to paste a paper label along a side face of themount strip. This label becomes dirty with use, illegible and often tornand otherwise damaged. In the present structure, a shallow groove 9 isformed in one face. The side walls of this groove are made straight andit is adapted to receive a label holder. This holder is indicated by 10and comprises an envelope 1927. Serial No. 197,041.

formed from a strip of transparent material having edges underturned andending short of one another to provide a space 11. Within this holder astrip of paper or the like containing suitable indicia is placed. Theholder when in position has its face flush with the outer face of thebody. The indicia is displayed through the face of the holder. The backof the holder and the exposed face of the label are covered by anadhesive cement which securely fastens the label and holder in positionin the mount.

Referring more particularly to Figs. 3 and 4, a mount is shown whereinthe body is made from stamp moulding. The moulding is made of woodhaving a rounded top indicated by 15 and a flat lower face to which thetype 16 is attached. In the rounded upper portion is a recess 17 for thereception of the transparent label holder 18 corresponding to the holder10.

The holder is secured to the mount by adhesive in the same manner asthat before described.

What I claim is:

1. A mount of the character described having on the face thereof ashallow groove with a fiat bottom, a transparent sheet having its edgesunderturned to provide an envelope of substantially the same thicknessas the depth of said groove, and an insertable label in said envelope,said envelope being adhesively secured to the bottom of said groove.

2. A mount of the character described having on the face thereof ashallow groove with a flat bottom, a transparent sheet having its edgesunderturned and ending short of one another to provide an open spaceforming an envelope of substantially the same thickness as the depth ofsaid groove, and an insertable label in said envelope having an areaexposed at said space, said envelope and exposed portion of said labelbeing adh'esively secured to the bottom face of said groove.

In witness that I claim the foregoing I have hereuntosubscribed my namethis 1st day of June, 1927. 1
